First to appear is the "Large Grassland Entrance" zoo, which you can download as part of my Six Template Pack (http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=3050). This handy-dandy template contains a small food court and six empty exhibits with plenty of room for expansion into the rest of the zoo space.

Observe an overview. As you can see, there is plenty of room to build.
We enter via the gate (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/01-gate.jpg). If you turn to your left you'll see one of the two viewing areas (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/02-entrancebenches.jpg) set just off the entrance. Walk into the area and you'll find shaded comfort (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/03-entranceshelters.jpg). Pivot a bit and you'll get a panoramic view (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/04-entrancebenchesby.jpg) of the zoo to your right.
Let's take that path that you saw to the left when you walked in. A quaint little food court (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/05-pathsunset.jpg), which will be great for your first few guests but should be supplemented as you gain popularity, sits in the shade of a maple. If you walk around the tables and behind the water stand, you'll come upon a strategically-placed restroom (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/06-restroom.jpg) and a lovely fountain (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/09-fountain.jpg) gushing just beyond it.
But go back to that path we said we'd follow. Don't you want to see the gift shop (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/07-giftshop.jpg) and the pony ride (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/08-ponyride.jpg) that stands across from it?
The sun is setting fast, so hurry on to the far viewing area. A popcorn vendor (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/10-popcorn.jpg) awaits you there, and he has a quota to meet. You can even sit in hardwood comfort (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/EntranceTemplate/11-farviewing.jpg) to eat your buttery goodness.
Since the zoo is virtually symmetrical and you'll find more or less the same thing to the right, we'll end our tour here. Happy building!
